R.I.P. Saigon’s Career

Speaking of mixtape rappers who are having a tough week, the situation with Saigon and Atlantic Records provides and interesting glimpse into the inner workings of the music biz.

You’ll recall that Saigon got all pissed and lashed out at his label the other day in a MySpace blog in which he threatened to leak his shit to the Internets himself if Atlantic doesn’t get around to putting his shit out tout de suite.

To wit:

Thank God artist such as Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin (Atlantic artist) weren’t signed in this day in time. They would’ve never seen the light of day. Not to worry though, my fans WILL hear my entire album very soon whether they put it out or not. If they don’t I will and let y’all be the judge of if the music is GREAT or not.

Um, yeah.

Delusions of grandeur much, Saigon? No but really, Just Blaze had him take down the MySpace blog. But, fortunately for us all, the editors here at XXL copied and pasted it into the headlines section here, for posterity.

And people say this site is controlled by the TIs!

Threatening to leak your own album to the Internets is probably not the best idea in the world, in the sense that once his shit does eventually leak to the Internets, everyone’s going to assume it was his fault. If anything, the label might leak it themselves and use it as an excuse to drop Saigon like a bad habit, not unlike what happened to Lil’ Flip. In fact, wasn’t that the same label? Hmm…

At issue is the fact that Saigon has been signed to Atlantic for three years now and has yet to have an album released. Supposedly, the album was more or less finished six months into the deal, which means that it’s been sitting there gathering dust. But that might not be such a bad thing artistically, since Just Blaze hasn’t done anything that was really that good in about three years anyway.

As far as the album’s commercial prospects are concerned… I mean, let’s face it, there aren’t any. And I’m sure that’s why it’s been sitting on the shelf for so long. Even if the shit really was the next Illmatic, I doubt very many people would buy it. A lot of people really liked that Lupe Fiasco album, and that shit bricked harder than American Airlines Flight 11 slamming into the World Trade Center.

To his credit, Saigon himself claims to not give a shit how many copies his album sells one way or the other. According to an interview he gave another one of these hip-hop sites recently, he just wants people to hear his shit, since he spent so much time and effort working on it. If only the music business actually worked that way.

Sai is working with Primo now so he’s gonna relase an album, just not this specific album he’s had sitting around for 2 and a half years

jamesBrown

i think this is the hype before the drop. good way to get your name buzzing a bit

“If only the music business actually worked that way”

Ain’t that the truth…Oh well, Saigon never said much of anything before, so why should now be any different

b-ease

I’m not the biggest Saigon fan, but I heard some short snippets of several songs on hiphopdx.com

And the shit sounded incredible. Seriously.

The tracks are like music made during a lost era of east coast hiphop that never happened (think Jada’s “We Gon Make It” sound) because Blueprint dropped and changed the paradigm on HOW east coast hiphop sounded.

So yea, bol’s right. theres no way that shit is gonna sell.It didnt help that the first single was average and the video looked like a school project (and not even an “A” project at that).

M.Garvey

Lil Flip’s ordeal was with Columbia.
He might as well focus all his attention toward acting.

Walking Zombie

Look, Saigon is a very rare artist nowadays. He’s a lyrical monster tranfused with a street poet with a reel rap sheet to back nup his rap sheets. Just Blaze is one of the best to ever touch the MPC and Kanye’s doin production too.

So if no one buys this Cd then that must mean that 95% percent of hip-hop consumer have no clue what their listening to when they hear the stories of the struggle in the projects. Maybe T-Pain makes wanna have a drink and kick it in the club.

While Saigon makes you wanna pull a weapon out of you’r trunk, write a mean 16 and shoot the first crooked cop you see while recitin you’r 16. Then end the scen with sum purp in a dutch. Hip-Hop has a totally synthetic life in Corporate America. R.I.P Saigon’s career is just another fallen soldier in the war for life in Hip-Hop.

Real emcees are like the Insurgents in Iraq fighting for their land while Corporate America is our armed forces turning their land into money. Thats why 99% percent of rap involves money makin lyrics. I mean shit, I gotta go to work and serve the holocaust of our nation right now (McDonalds) to make enough money to save for a car to burn gasoline to give Bush even more of a reason to send our troops out for a false cause. FUCK IT! FIRST FAGGOT! Saigon is that shit, realest we’ve gotten close to in a long time. Bol I hate your opinion but at least you consistent wid it. First, i think,

internet thug

1st bitches and this is sickamore’s fault fake 80′s baby. i’m glad he ain’t comin out cause the last thing we need is another artist talkin about the streets and how much coke he sold. and bol a bitch deserves a good whippin once in a while.

b-ease

I feel him on the record label frustrations though. If they’re not gonna drop his album, then they need to just do each other a favor and drop him period. Cuz neither he nor Atlantic or generating money off his music now, what do they have to lose by letting him go?

Airing them out on myspace probably wasnt a good idea tho. Leaking your shit only works when nobody knows you leaked your shit (like Lil Waynes new joints, which are actually kind of weak…)

internet thug

post my comments you cocksuckers. blame this on sickamore. death to the all the fake 80′s babies

A lot of people really liked that Lupe Fiasco album, and that shit bricked harder than American Airlines Flight 11 slamming into the World Trade Center.

The 9-11 similie seemed a little obvious until I realized its double meaning. Shitting on Lupe for bricking and for being a Muslim.

b-ease

Even if the shit really was the next Illmatic, I doubt very many people would buy it.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If it was the next Illmatic, it DEFINETLY wouldnt sell. That shit didnt go gold till like ’99.

Great post BoL, way 2 expose these hoes. I mean damn I never understand how these rapper N words always confess 2 crimes like it ain’t shit and like it can’t come back 2 bite them in the ass real hard. No Mark Karr. This dude is done cause if the TI’s didn’t think about it Bol sure did point it out 4 them. Question: If a Bear shits in the woods does he wipe his butt with a fluffy white rabbit? So if U already confess 2 the crime is what Bol doin’ really snitchin’? BoL, 1 Saigon Lost 1

And, I’m glad they took your Stack Bundles(RIP) blog down, Bol. You were outta line on that one.

Chad Biggz

I was hyped to hear Saigon was going to leak his album. I guess Just Blaze wasn’t as hyped as me. I mean if its not going to come out on Atlantic. He should leak it or sell it out of his car. But he gotta do somethin. I’m waitin for Jae Millz and Joe Budden to do somethin too. Dudes be sittin the bench a long time. Put some new faces in the game. While they have been sittin Rick Ross, Young Joc, and Dro are suppose to be droppin there sophomore albums by 2008. Shit, makes me wanna leak my album. Only if I’d rapped.

Saigon? isnt that in vietnam? WTF? saigon? who the fuck is this nigga? I mean I heard of LL, Kane, Pac, De La, Nas but who the fuck gives a fuck about Siagon? Bol, you made a mistake a career is a paying job, this dude China beach, I mean Siagon has never had a career, word on th streez is Burger King is taking Apps:) Holla

I see YN spanked that ass about the Stack Bundles blog (homo implied)

Dr Flav

Thank you! This guy is always somewhere whining about something, he should face the fact that Atlantic and Just Blaze own that ass. All that leak talk ceased when Just put that pimp hand down. T.I. (no Iovine) is Atlantic’s priority for the summer and duke feeling are hurt. Dont Just got a beat on that new Tip album? It would figure that you could have managed to get a verse, since thats your producer, label mate and label. LOL! That Primo collab must gonna be charity, because Atlantic is not going to let their contracted artist release music without a cut, at least DJ Premier will get paid. Saigon, you have no midwest, west or south buzz, good thing you say its about the message (you aint no 2K Malcolm X, dude) and not money (liar), because the east consumers and the downloading internet superfans you counting on are not going to cut it. Unrecouped artists are prevalent, Atlantic gonna make you pay for that slick talk.

Saigon can always appear on the next installment of the (WHITE) rapper show…lol

Actually, if you speak to anyone who’s heard a chunk of it, it’s straight fire, and easily better than anything else that’s been released in the last four or five years.

EAST COAST RAPPERS THAT DONT USE SOUTHERN BEATS WONT EAT. JUST FACE IT. LABELS DONT CARE ABOUT THE PAPOOSES, ORTIZ’S, OR SAIGONS OF THE WORLD. pUT THAT SHIT OUT ON KOCH AND SIT DOWN SOMEWHERE.

To you he might be some artist you never heard (Since you don’t listen to hip-hop) but to some one else he was a son, a brother, a friend…

Think b4 you speak outside the side of your ass… I promise to god if I see you BOL imma beat the shit out you

“Just Blaze hasn’t done anything that was really that good in about three years anyway.”

*smh* And to think…I once thought you said some real shit that people didn’t have the balls to say, but said it in a provocative way. Now it seems more like you say shit just to say it. People see through that shit, son. You get no props for that.

I don’t why they don’t jus release his album. Same for Rae, and every one else. This shit makes no sense to me. I hope Saigon just puts it out on the internet anyway, gets droped, goes to Koch or some independent and makes a real album.

DAAAAYYYUUUUM!!!!

^^^^^^^^^^^^

Because it costs alot of money to release an album (manufacturing, poster,commercials). And obviously, atlantic and interscope dont believe that they’re going to make that money back with sales. And they’re right.

As fucked up as it is, its much smarter for a label to not drop the album, use the artist as a tax write off for a couple years, and drop them when they have ZERO buzz (so nobody else can ever make money off them either).

Its the worst for hiphop when good albums get shelved but from a business perspective, i DEFINETLY see why the label would do it.

thatwhitedude

i blame Sickamore! that motherfucker needs to come outta of his hiding and state the reason for Saigon never dropping… “Make You Famous” my ass…

I think you’re list is proof positive that bol’s statement was on the money. “Return of the Hustle” is a horrible example.

Although i do agree with you on the “you’re saying shit just to say it” part.

FAIR

BOL YOUR FU*CKED..how are you gunna hate on Saigon he is the truth…one of the few real rappers left..this is what myself and plenty other are always ranting on about “hip hop is dead” is a lame ass term i refuse to use it but when artists of this calibur are riding the pine while fake rappers are getting spins its pathetic(kinda like you) and to take a low blow at the world trade center wow thats low ever for you…and b-ease for the record i think rae is sighned to Aftermath right now? i might be mistaken but i think so for a one album deal..as for atlantic it truly has nothing to do with them at all its the biz in general they have no respect for new artist no career building anymore just hit singles
Peace from the 519

campz

fuck this guy .. i dont want to hear none of this motherfuckers blogs after what he said about stacks

fire this motherfucker

Finally Bol I agree with you on something you are right Saigon’s albums probably will not sell. Now-a-days people are more concerned with dancing and good production rather than the essence of hip hop which is lyricism, poetry and things of that nature.

Bol

I’m sorry, I am an idiot. Please disregard all my idiotic statements. Especially that brainless blog from yesterday that showed how much of a dickhead I really am.

Damn,

Stack Bundles is dead. What am I ever going to do now. He was such an important and influencial artist. Who will carry Jim Jones’ laundry to the cleaners? Who will drop guest verses that come and go with the same impact that an ant leaves on your kitchen floor as it walks bye? R.I.P Stacks, you will be sorely missed by all 24 dipset fans….NNNOOOOOOTTTTTTTT

“and that shit bricked harder than American Airlines Flight 11 slamming into the World Trade Center.”

Bol,
The subject of Saigon’s career aside, where’s your integrity as a writer? You can do better than that, can’t you? Is it a lack of inventiveness that prohibits you from writing coherently?

Don’t get it twisted – I’m certainly not talking censorship here. Lester Bangs, one of my favorite critics, wrote far more explicitly than you, without recalling the holocaust or slavery to make a completely unrelated point.

Food for thought.

Cuban Link

Sai has a lot more hype than NaS did with Illmatic, and for the record Illmatic has gone platinum.

Also, Lupe didnt sell as much cuz of how much he got leaked, and cuz or that backpacker style.Traditional hip hop, like Saigon, is more popular.I havent heard anyone thumping Lupe once in the city, no homo

It aint my fault that ur mans a punk

Byron ‘Get to the back of the line’ Crawford

Usually your a prick worth reading, but the Stacks (even though I never heard of him) article was opportunism at it’s finest.

Stack Bundles, we hardly knew ye

Not to sound offensive (on a hip-hop website, even!), but probably the best thing that can come of this morning’s murder of Byrd Gang rapper Stack Bundles is that it finally brings Cam’ron back off vacation.

I mean, at the very least I would imagine the media is going to want some sort of comment from Cam re: how great a rapper/bag handler Stack Bundles was, and whether or not the people who killed him are the same people who fucked his face up a few weeks ago. You know how the media loves to put one and two together.

The thing is, we haven’t heard from Cam at all since he put out his infamous “get my fucking pool in the back video” a few weeks ago. He seemed to sort of disappear after Tru Life kicked his ass outside of a nightclub as if he was Uncle Murder, and it was speculated (albeit by Cam rival Fiddy Cent) that he had gone into hiding, lest both of his eyes end up all swolen.

Now that a member of his crew has been gunned down in New York, I’m sure there’s gonna be speculation that the real reason Cam’ron has spent the past month or so working on his tan in the world’s shittiest timeshare is because he feared that had he remained in town, he would’ve met the same fate as Stack Bundles.

I’m not saying I know for certain whether or not that’s the case, but at the very least, I’d say there’s some issues that need to be cleared up. The NYPD may even want Cam to come in and explain Stack Bundles true role in Dipset as well as ID the perp, not unlike how Fat Joe had to do down in Florida recently.

Once all that is sorted out, you’d think this would be as good a time as any to get Cam’s recording career back on track. After all, last year, T.I. lost a very important member of his entourage (arguably even more so than DJ Drama) in a rather suspect incident, and he ended up having the best-selling rap album of the year.

According to the world’s most accurate encyclopedia, Courtesy Curtis is still set for release at the very beginning of July, around the same time 50 Cent’s similarly titled Curtis would’ve been released. But since Curtis has been pushed back to September, I wouldn’t be surprised if Cam’ron’s album is pushed back a bit as well. That would give him plenty of time to get his story straight re: Stack Bundles and getting jacked in the face, as well as benefit from whatever attendant publicity is generated.

I know, it sounds cynical to think about such things on the same day yet another rapper was gunned down in the streets, but look at it like this: If Stack Bundles’ death serves as the catalyst to get a new Cam’ron album in stores, then at least we could say his life served some puprose. Because honestly, I’m not sure if we could otherwise.

Matty

Fuck It i didnt see tha bol blog frm yesterday.
What did he say bout stacks?

Why did you say Lupe’s album bricked? It was certified Gold about 3 months ago. Get your shit straight…or at least read your Soundscans before writing.

http://www.myspace.com/sinistahmoneybagz Sinistah aka Sin Piffcaso

I wanna see Saigon win this shit, despite the delay, he’s one of the few artists with material thats actually relevant and on pace to create if not change within the industry, change in peoples actual lives.

A song like “Pain In My Life” as it was executed is way more relevant and informally “touching” than lets say some bullshit like “Krispy” or “A Bay Bay”. And for the dumb who are gonna say “I dont like being preached to with music” it’s a story-based track, step ya comprehension game up.

If i wanted to escape reality i’d blaze somethin and drink like a fish til my auto-shutdown kicks in.

And personally i don’t buy records because millions of others buy it, i cop what i like regardless if it goes platinum or str8 wood-chip. I don’t buy music due to the label its on or industry co-signers.

I wish Saigon did have an album launch set-up. Sun is consistent and actually have way more skills than what has been forced upon us in da past few years for the most part.

Sai has a lot more hype than NaS did with Illmatic, and for the record Illmatic has gone platinum.

^^^^^^^^^^

You must be under 15 years old. The buzz for Nas pre-Illmatic was DEAFENING compared to Sai’s.

And with that it still took Illmatic almost TEN years to hit one million sold.

B-Ease is right, Nas had the rap world in a frenzy, and witout the help of the internet, so imagine how much of an impact that mans debut caused in the rap game.

Every hip-hop journalists pen had an orgasm just to do a story on dat man. his album got the first flawless rating (5 mics) not only in the source, but probably ever, of course taking into consideration some pioneers may never get a chance to boast that due to being on the early end of Hip-Hops evolution.
